Funicular de Bulnes and walk.

Image
The Funicular de Bulnes is a railway that runs in a tunnel from Poncebos and seems to be the only access to Bulnes. There is a single tunnel with a passing place half way to allow the 2 carriages to pass, one going up and the other down, joined by cables. The passing point is small and not visible in the dim light of the tunnel, so the oncomming lights of the other carriage give the sense of an impending collision. The trip up took about 20 minutes and cost €17.44 per person one way, a little expensive but worth it. The locals use the train and the first carriage of the day, which we took, carries the workers and large quantites of bread, milk and olive oil amongst other item.

Camping la paz.

Before heading into the Picos de Europa we decided to head to the coast for a couple of nights at Camping La Paz. An interesting place, camping on tarraces overlooking the sea. Beautiful views of the waves and sandy beaches, unfortunately day 2 was misty, cloudy weather and not so inviting. More planning for the next few days was a usefull use of the time as well as a bit more guitar practice. I can nearly play cords in time AND sing at the same time. Jeannette did wonder if I'd cleared the campsite. There was no way I could keep in time with the cowbell accomplement in the next field. The plan for the next few days, camping Naranjo de Bulnes for the Ruta del Cares, an 11 km walk one way and 11 back and visit Bulnes on the funicular railway. Then Fuete De cablecar and walks.

Dinan rampart walk

Image
Due to the rain we postponed the rampart walk until Saturday morning. Well worth it. Although it is not complete as the ramparts have been built over and some parts demolished to build roads etc. Most of the walk is poorly signposted but that seems to be the French way. Off to Paimpol tomorrow.
